    Hi,

     

     

    You can use either bash or perl to do this using bigpipe commands. If you want to do this remotely, there is a management API called iControl that is designed for this scenario. You can check the CLI guide for your version on AskF5 for details on bigpipe. For more info on iControl, you can check the iControl forum (Click here), codeshare (Click here) or main page (Click here).

     

     

    I think you'll find a few examples in the Codeshare which do what you're looking for.
